Create a cookbook for rsnapshot backups

[carlalexander]

I used debops.rsnapshot recently. It's easy to setup and works out of the box. It's probably worth creating a cookbook to explain how to set it up, how to do restores, etc.

Can we do daily incremental and weekly full backup with rsnapshot? And multiple servers backup to a single backup server?

Very excited for this. DO image backups is all I've got at the moment

[carlalexander]

Yep, to all of these. It does hourly incremental backups by default if I remember correctly.

Wait for the instructions, which hosting support snapshot?

Digital Ocean does backups if you turn them on. To support debops.rsnapshot, you'll need a backup server. But you could use that backup server for multiple servers.
